Pendampingan Penggunaan Buku Kas Harian untuk UMKM Konveksi/Penjahit

Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance the financial literacy of micro-enterprises by providing training on the SME accounting application "Buku Kas Harian" (Daily Cash Book) for owners and treasurers of convection/ tailoring businesses in Mataram City. The systematically designed program involved 9 participants. The methodology included a needs assessment survey, a pre-test to gauge initial knowledge, delivery of training materials, and offline/online consultation mentoring. A final evaluation via a post-test demonstrated the program's effectiveness, showing a significant improvement in participants' understanding and operational skills in using the application for daily transaction recording. The program focused not only on transferring technical skills but also on fostering behavioral change in managing simple bookkeeping. As a result, participants were able to produce more orderly financial reports, forming a foundation for business decision-making and access to formal financing. This activity highlights the importance of continuous mentoring and an adaptive approach in empowering MSME actors in the convection sector.
